Character and Personal Development

Vision for Personal Development at Huxlow Academy

At Huxlow Academy, our vision for Personal Development is for every student, regardless of their background, to thrive and grow in character. We believe that active participation in school life and engagement with a broad range of extra-curricular opportunities are essential to fostering well-rounded, resilient individuals. 

Our Personal Development priorities include:

1. Responsive PSHE Curriculum: To create a comprehensive, adaptable PSHE curriculum that meets the unique needs and experiences of our students and community.

2. Student Leadership and Aspiration: To build a culture of aspiration by cultivating leadership opportunities, empowering students to take ownership of their growth and contribute meaningfully to the school community.

3. Career Preparedness: To design and implement a career program that not only aligns with student ambitions but is also supported by validated tools and resources, ensuring students feel prepared for their futures.

4. Expanded Extra-Curricular Opportunities: To broaden the range of extra-curricular activities and trips, allowing every student the chance to explore interests, develop new skills, and experience the world beyond the classroom.

5. Parental Involvement: To foster strong partnerships with parents, encouraging their active role in their child’s personal development journey.

At Huxlow Academy, we are committed to supporting each student’s personal growth, equipping them with the skills, character, and confidence to succeed in school and beyond. 

This vision places equal emphasis on academic and character development, aiming for a holistic approach that includes both school and community support.
